That date sounds good to me. I need to have a word with the SC myself though as I might have some work that needs doing before my Dyno run (or in lieu of my dyno run if we run out of time!)

I've been trying to troubleshoot an issue with my car which has popped up since my last trip to the Scooby Clinic.
On my last trip I just had a service and a power run on the Dyno - but since returning I've noticed a whistle between 3 and 4k RPM in 4th and 5th gear (and probably 6th.. but I don't go that fast
)
I don't have any obvious boost leaks, and the dyno run I had at SC a few weeks ago suggested my boost and power is healthy.
I think I may have found what looks like a leak in my downpipe though - which I'm hoping will be causing it. My local mechanic isn't convinced the downpipe is leaking as he said it would sound more raspy and the engine would be running rougher - but when I spray water onto the DP from the engine bay and give it a few revs - I can see bubbles sneaking out from what appears to be the weld around where the cat is located.
Kev @ SC said they can have a look and repair/replace the DP if needed - or diagnose the issue further to identify the fault if it lies elsewhere.
